Points: 1500.
Mission: Open War deck.
Enemy reinforcements have arrived in the form of the 3rd company Sons of Orar. While the Ultramarines regrouped and resupplied, their successor chapter took to the field to buy them time. The Rift Wardens under Chapter Master Arthurus engaged them in an attempt to drive them back. The battle took place at the fortress known as Macragge's Gate.
Sons of Orar captain Jaimus made the fortress his first objective for his artillery and to block the Rift Wardens from escaping. On the morning of the battle, the Sons of Orar opened fire with massed heavy weapons while their battle brothers sought to bring down any Rift Wardens marines who appeared in the open. The outer defences were captured quickly and the Sons of Orar had found their opening.
Day two of the battle was shrouded in a thick fog of war from the amount of heavy weapon impacts and crumbling rockcrete dust in the air. The Rift Wardens sought to overwhelm their foe in a sudden close combat assault but the Sons of Orar were prepared and counter-attacked. The fortress fell within three and a half hours.
